If you want to create a big sound and an impressive performance, consider this historical gem in Downtown Toronto. Of all Toronto concert venues, 1871 Berkeley Church reigns as one of the most eclectic and sought-after spaces for featuring both local and international talent. Toronto’s own Barenaked Ladies rocked a massive international musical event here just last year for WE Charity that made headline news and captured the ears and hearts of the near 600-guest audience.

This venue is a well-known and highly-regarded historical landmark in Old Toronto. One of its greatest features is its historical stage, which makes it a perfect space to house local Toronto talent and internationally recognized artists.

This gorgeous structure was built to house sound and its incredible interior lends to acoustics and a mesmerizing sound experience that will enrapture an audience.

Spacious enough for a large music event, 1871 Berkeley Church captures stadium concert sound but evokes a more intimate, familiar vibe. Whether you’re featuring jazzy blues, rock ’n roll, classical music, or hip-hop, fully-wired or totally unplugged, 1871 Berkeley Church is right on the beat. It’s hip, elegant, and historic–a quintessence of Toronto vibe and culture. Accommodates 580 standing guests or 330 seated.

You won’t find bicycles at this place unless you’ve crafted some nifty guitars out of old bike parts! What you will find is a romantic, intimate space ideal for a small, exclusive musical performance. Once a mansion belonging to a prosperous Toronto family, Berkeley Bicycle Club is now a hip urban relic and a perfectly designated small music venue, Toronto style. Home to Jazz on Jarvis every Monday, it features the soulful music of some of Toronto’s premier jazz artists.

This small music venue encourages lingering melodies that evoke a visceral, late-night blues-bar feeling of being lost in the music. Knock out sweet jazz, clean classical sound, or rugged unplugged timbre, and connect with your guests. This hip, urban, small music venue can accommodate 150 standing guests or 80 seated. Additional space is available on its charming wrap-around patio so your guests can drift in and out between sets, contributing to a relaxed performance and overall ambience.

This premium concert venue really has its own beat. Airship 37 is situated in South Toronto’s trendy Distillery District. It’s a historical structure with a contemporary facelift and a concert venue Toronto locals rave about.

The interior boasts an impressive hangar and industrial style architecture with just the right amount of sound absorption to lend itself to an incredible acoustic experience.

And, it’s a moderate sized space that is easily customized to fit a theme because of its clean, modern design. If you want to keep things simple and avoid aesthetic distractions, this is the place for your jam. Airship 37 accommodates 470 standing guests or 180 seated.
